How useful forum signature links for seo purpose? I have more than 1000 posts on some forums is adding signature useful?

I would say very useful. Just make sure that the signature links do show up for everyone (sitepoint only shows sigs to registered users and search engines and visitors do not see them), or that they are not marked as no-follow (as some forums that would rather not mention here do).

of course it helps... especially when you use your target keyword/s as your sig txt...

@lefty

what do you suggest abotu forum signature links? I have more than 600 posts on many forums and valuable posts. Do you suggest me to sell those links or should I use for some of my sites?

How to select targeted keyword? Can you help me with it?

It can be useful in link and traffic building purposes, the more post you have, the more backlinks you get.

But the extra backlinks from irrelelvant sites may affect your website's PR...

So finally I do beleive that forum signatures are useful for traffic and backlinks. Sometimes if its not going to give you an advantage but there is no disadvantage in link at forum signatures.

I still have backlinks from forum that i'm no longer active..On top of that, it helps to get in traffic to your site.. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to add in a few lines at the end of your posting

Forum signatures are effective if you have so many posts at different forums. They are better for traffic as compared to SEO because a backlink from forum signature might not be very strong as compared to homepage link from high PR site.
